was the god of the sea, and , as "earth-shaker," of earthquakes in Greek mythology
Poseidon was venerated at Pylos and Thebes in pre-Olympian Bronze Age Greece, but he was integrated into the Olympian gods as the brother of Zeus and Hades.
Poseidon was a major civic god of several cities: in Athens, he was 2nd only to Athena in importance, while in Corinth and many cities of Magna Graecia he was the chief god of the Polis.
The son f Cronus and rhea, Poseidon is one of six siblings who Eventully "divide the power of the world." his brothers and sisters include: Hesti, Demeter, Hera, Hades and Zeus.
Poseidon was relied upon by sailors for a safe voyage on the sea. many men drowned horses in sacrifice of his honor.
he lived on the ocean floor in a palace made of coral and gems, and drove a chariot pulled by horses.
when he was in a good mood, Poseidon created new lands in the water and a calm sea. in contrast, when he was in a bad mood, Poseidon would strike the ground with a trident and cause unruly springs and earthquakes, ship wrecks, and drownings.
he had many love affairs and fathered numerous children. Poseidon once married a Nereid, Amphitrite, and produced Triton who was half-human and half-fish.
Poseidon in conjunction with Apollo is said to have built the walls of troy for Laomedon.
the symbol of Poseidons power was the trident, or a spear with 3 points, with witch he used to shatter rocks, to call forth or subdue storms, to shake the earth.
I chose blue and white because he is the water god.the trident is his weapon of choice. I chose this music because it represents his dominance and personality.
in the book the odyssey i ( Poseidon ) was furious when Odysseus invaded my son ( the cyclops ) cave and stole his food without asking although it is one of the Greek traditions.i was nervius when they were thinking of a plan to get out of the cave because i thought they were going to hurt or harm my son. then they did they stabbed his eye and escaped the cave. my son then prayed to me to harm them and make something bad happen to him and his men at sea. so i had a few ideas in mind to harm them order have a huge wave come and wreck there ship, or have one of my sea animals go after there ship and wreck it and kill him and his men. so there for that's why i don't like Odysseus because he harmed my son and he is now blind in the one eye he actully had.
